v To all whom it may concern:

which it apperta-ins to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and iigures of reference marked thereon, which form a part ci this speciicaticn.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in valves.

The object of the invention is to provide ya quick acting valve which may be placed in a variety of positions, thereby permitting it to be used in locations, and o-ut of the way places, where space is restricted.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1, is an elevation of my improved valve; F ig. 2 is a vertical section on the line aoi' Fig. 5; Fig. 3 is a bottom plan vie'v7 ofthe valve; Fig. a, is a section on the line 6 5 of `Fig. 2; and Fig. 5 is a longitudinal vertical section on the line c-c of Fig. 1.

in the specidcation and drawings, similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts.

Referring more particularly to the draw-4 ings, 1 represents a valve casing provided with hexagonal extensions 2. The extensions 2 are provided with interiorly threaded openings 3 which are adapted to receive the threaded ends of pipe sections (not shown). The interior oit' the casing 1 is provided with annular valve seats L t which are `in lalinement with the threaded openings 3. The valve sea-ts d are placed at angles relative to each other, and are adapted to be engaged by valve disks 5 to close the valve. The disks 5 are provided with ball and socketportions 3 by means of which they are enabled to move'- in unison. rlhe form or the il elle ovable wit the stem 10. rlhe stem extends through both sides oi the valve casing and is journaled in packing glands 12 which are mounted in threaded openings 13 in the valve casing. The valve casing 1 is provided with two sets otthreaded openings 13, one set on each side of the threaded pipe openings 3. This construction permits t-he valve stem 10 to be mounted on either side of the valve thereby permitting said valve to be placed in places where the space is restricted. The

threaded openings 13, not occupied by the stem 10 are closed by plugs 16. The stem 10 is adapted to be placed on either side of the valve, depending upon the location of the valve.

Valves of this type may be used on gas piping, where the valve disks 5 are subject to corrosion. To pre-vent any deteriorating action under these circumstances, the valve is so constructed that the disks 5 will be immersed in a bath ot cil when the valve is open. Attached to the bottom of the casing 1 is a cup 13 in which the disks 5 normally rest when the valve is open. Oil may be placed in this cup, and in the lower portion of the valve casingthrough an opening closed by a plug 14.' The oil may be drained from the valve through an opening closed by a plug 15in the bottom ofthe cup 13.

it will be seen from Figs. 2 and 3, that by rocking the stern 10, the disks 5 will be moved to a position to engage the valve seats 4, and as the seats t are placed at an angle relative to each other, and the disks 5 are independently movable, the said? disks will engage the seats snugly, thereby 'efectually closing the valve.

- iaving described my invention, I claim,

1. in a valve, a casing having valve seats, pipe apertures alined with said seats, and alined apertures on each side of said pipe apertures, plugs for closing one or the other sets of said last named apertures, a valve stem adapted to be mounted in one or the other sets of said last named apertures, a crank member attached to said valve stem within said casing, and dexibly connected valve engaged by said crank member.

9,. i valve comprising a casing having oppositely disposed pipe apertures, tapered valve seats between said pipe apertures, and set-s ot apertures on each side of said pipe apertures, a valve stem adapted to be mounted one setor" said apertures on either side said apertures, plugs adapted to dose the apertues on she sfe of 'the pipe a Crank member eonnectng said Valve disks apertures Whoh are no occupied by said with the stem.

Valve stem, Valve disks adapted to be moved In testimony whereof I affix my signature, to and from sad'seats, said valve disks havin presence of two Witnesses.

ing a bell and. socket connection which 'por JACOB J. STLEY. mits of their engagement with said valve 1/V'i'aoesses: Seats', an oil' Chamber in which seid valve R. J. MCCAMY, disks lie when not engaging said seats, and MATTHEW SIE-BLER.

npies of 'this patent may be obtained for ve cents each, by adlessing the Commissioner of Patents, Washington, D. G.
